How-to: Easily Transfer Contacts from an iPhone to the ZTE Warp 4G Using a Computer or Apps

Posted: 19 Feb 2014 05:35 AM PST

Using iTunes to Transfer Contacts:

Those of you who have access to a computer with iTunes installed can use the software in order to sync your iPhone contacts with a Google account. This makes it easy to grab the contacts from the account, and sync them with your Android device – in this case the ZTE Warp 4G

  1. Open iTunes on your computer
  2. Connect your iPhone to your PC using the proprietary USB cable
  3. After it connects, the iPhone will appear in iTunes. Click it and go to the "Info" tab
  4. Mark the "Sync Contacts With" check box, and pick "Google Contacts" from the drop-down menu
  5. If you haven't added a Google account before, enter your Google log in details. Otherwise, click "Configure" and choose an existing account
  6. Click "Apply" and allow iTunes to sync the contacts on your iPhone with the Google account
  7. On your ZTE Warp 4G, register the same Google account by going to "Settings" > "Accounts"
  8. Set the account so that it can sync contacts with your device

Using iCloud for Contact Transfer:

As long as you've used iCloud on your iPhone prior to this guide, chances are that your contacts have been backed up on your iCloud account. By accessing it, you can export the contacts in the form of a VCF file. To do so:

  1. Open the Internet browser on your PC and visit https://www.icloud.com/
  2. Log in to your iCloud account and click "Contacts"
  3. From the list of contacts, mark the ones that you want to export
  4. Click the "Settings" icon located in the bottom-left area
  5. Select "Export vCard" and a VCF file will be downloaded on your computer
  6. Import the vCard file in "Google Contacts", or alternatively, connect your ZTE smartphone to your PC via USB, copy the VCF file in the "sdcard" directory and import the file using the contacts application. Press "Menu" > "Import / Export" > "Import from SD" / "Storage" and follow any additional self-explanatory steps

Using the "My Contacts Backup" App:

The iTunes and iCloud methods require access to a computer, but with the help of applications you can still transfer contacts from an iPhone, without the need of a PC. My Contacts Backup is an iOS app designed to share contacts via email. To use this approach:

  1. Go to the App Store and install "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone
  2. Launch the application
  3. Tap "Backup" and your contacts will be compiled in a VCF file
  4. After the backup file is created, tap "Email" in order to attach it to an email
  5. Type in your own Gmail address as the recipient, and send the email to your address
  6. Switch over to the ZTE Warp 4G and open the email
  7. Download the attachment and import the VCF file using the contacts application

Using the "Bump" Application:

If you want to transfer your iPhone contacts in a unique way, then "Bump" might be the answer you need. This iOS and Android application can send contacts from one phone to another via cloud, so you won't need a computer, Bluetooth, NFC, an email account or anything else, aside from an active Internet connection.

  1. Install "Bump" on your ZTE from the Play Store
  2. Download the same app on your iPhone, from the App Store
  3. Open the application on both smartphones. When prompted, allow permissions
  4. Switch to the iPhone and access the contacts screen
  5. From the list of contacts, select the ones that you want to transfer
  6. When the "Bump now!" message appears, you can lightly bump the two smartphones to commence the transfer process
  7. A "Connect" button should appear on the screen of both smartphones. Tap it, and your iPhone contacts will be copied over to the ZTE Warp 4G via cloud
